Alpather Lake in Kashmir

Alpather Lake Kashmir

Alpather Lake in Gulmarg is a picturesque small lake which is also known as the Frozen Lake, which owes to its nature of being frozen from November until mid-June, it is a well-kept secret of Kashmir. This charming, high altitude lake is situated at the foot of the twin Apharwat Peaks at a height of 4,390 meters and the trek to this lake starts from the popular hill station, Gulmarg. When we look at the weather condition and looking at the covering of ice and snow on the Alpather Lake and its surroundings, winters are mostly suited for skating and other snow activities....
The place has unmatched landscapes, lesser crowds and a resemblance to the famous Lake Louise of Canada makes for a great one-day excursion from Gulmarg. Alpather Lake is one of the major tourist attractions in the small town of Gulmarg. Surrounded by lush green meadows and rocky mountains that are covered with beautiful wildflowers, this lake is beyond any doubt a sight to behold.Alpather Lake is not just the lake, to be honest, but the entire journey that you will take to finally get here, that is an experience in itself. And when you finally get to stand on the banks of a stunningly beautiful lake in the middle of nowhere; at the top of the highest peak around; you know that you are going to be talking about this trip for days to come.
